Cost from B Szamboti

I believe this is one of those "if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it" scenarios. A lot of money and a 10+ year waiting list.

There is no waiting list (that you can be added to) as Barry feels he is backlogged as far as he is willing to go in this lifetime. One of the reasons his list is so long (besides the quality, workmanship, design and tradition) is the cost, which is actually much much much lower from Barry than you see his cues traded in the marketplace for.

No problem though. Here comes Jimmy. The tradition continues.

Does any know the starting cost is for a cue direct from B. Szamboti? 4 points/no inlays/linen wrap. And if your so inclined how much for extras? Leather wrap/ inlays ect. :thumbup:

You can post or just PM me.

Thanks
Around $1500.00 I would say.

Yes. Priceless.
 
I'll take 10 of them at this price.

What is the price that was charged to someone who has a cue currently on order right now from Barry? I would think about what I said is about correct. I actually would be curious. Anybody out there with a pending order?

You probably are correct on this, but I don't think that I'll get on the list enough times to get 10 of them in my lifetime. So 10 at one time would be ok from previous buyers. It's not going to happen though.

$1500 is long since gone. I got one in 2006 or 2007 that was just a base 4pt/4 veneer cue and at that time, base price started at $2500. Now, it's no doubt 3k minimum, probably more like 3.5k or so. Just a ballpark and a reference to give you an idea. Barry can confirm for sure.

Just 10.....lol. :)

Yeah that sounds about right. 3.5 to Barry and then 5.5 or better on the market.

I just want one and that's about what I figured. Thanks. Time to saving my pennies.

Having a cue on order and actually getting one in your lifetime are two different things.:wink:
 
I agree, but don't forget you can't get on that list. The price is 5500 dollars in the marketplace! I believe the word I would use is a direct quote of Brigadier General McAuliffe, in his reply to a German ultimatum to surrender his troops during the battle of the bulge. You history buffs will know..

Is it " I know no-ting, nooo-tiiing!"
